TO LADY DAVY.

THERE is no individual to whom I can with so much propriety or so much pleasure dedicate this work as to you. The interest you have taken in the progress of it, has been a constant motive for my exertions; and it was begun and finished in a period of my life which, owing to you, has been the happiest. Regard it as a pledge that I shall continue to pursue Science with unabated ardour. Receive it as a proof of my ardent affection, which must be unalterable, for it is founded upon the admiration of your moral and intellectual qualities.

H. DAVY.
